GREEN BAY - It is difficult to read a newspaper today without seeing a reference to the alt-right; an expression most of us had never heard a year ago. New words are developed all the time; helicopter parent and frenemy are prime examples. Most new words simply make it easier to express ourselves, but there is something much more sinister about the usage of alt-right.

White nationalist Richard Spencer coined the term alt-right in 2010, it first came into common usage through its use by Breitbart News chair Steve Bannon, now White House chief strategist for Donald Trump.

The term alt-right is used to refer to groups that formerly were called white supremacists, Neo-Nazis, KKK, or racists. On the evening news we see rallies with people giving the Nazi salute, chanting Sieg Heil and Hail Trump, and they are referred to as alt-right rather than neo-Nazis.

In some cases the press intentionally uses the expression to sanitize racist behavior, but many times I think the expression is used because it is just too horrifying to fathom that our president could not have been elected without the support of the most extreme racist groups, and that Trump has a white supremacist, Steve Bannon, as his chief strategist.

I dont know whether Trump is a racist, but he did everything possible to woo the racist vote; from Obama-birther, Mexican rapists, to radical Islamic terrorists.

I am calling on the press to reject the words alt-right; they misrepresent something that is truly evil.

'Alt-right' is not all right - Green Bay Press Gazette

By almost all accounts, Lady Gagas halftime Super Bowl performance was astounding, the singers stage antics wowing all those watching.

However, before the match started, infamous alt-right spokesperson and InfoWars founder Alex Jones took to Facebook to warn followers not to watch Gagas show because shes the spawn of Satan and part of the New World Order.

After claiming Gaga does rituals and pointing out she once wore a meat suit, Jones said the Super Bowl organisers are deciding to defile America and break our will by having us bow down to this.

They say shes going to stand on top of the stadium, ruling over everyone with drones everywhere, surveilling everyone in a big swarm, he said. To just condition them to say I am the Godess of Satan ruling over them with the rise of the robots in a ritual of lesser magic.

He continues to rant about the New World Order, how Trump has ruined Gagas Satanic plan to dominate the world, and slapping himself on the back for being a free thinker.

Comments underneath the Facebook post echoed Jones's sentiment, while some also brought up the illuminati.

To be fair, there were a lot of triangles during Gagas performance. Illuminati confirmed? Probably. Meanwhile, in an even more suspicious occurrence, The Simpsons seemingly predicted Gagas Super Bowl performance. Will the New World Order ever stop messing with us?

The alt-right movement, a loose group of people with far right ideologies who reject mainstream Conservatism, has been associated with white supremacism, Islamophobia, antifeminism and anti-Semitism. It was little known until lastyear, when it endorsedTrumps election campaign and he appeared to endorse the movement back. Alex Joneshas been labelled 'alt-right'on numerous occasions.

The alt-right thinks Lady Gaga's Super Bowl 51 performance was a satanic ritual - The Independent

Daniel Dropik, 33, who attempted to form a Madison chapter of the American Freedom Party in January, has given up trying to bring the alt-right organization to campus and will take a break from his studies.

A student who attempted to form a Madison chapter of the American Freedom Party in January has abandoned his plans to bring the alt-right organization to campus, according to theAssociated Press.

Daniel Dropik, a computer science student, originally sparked outrage when he handed out flyers advertising the group and urging students to fight anti-white racism.

Dropik, 33, will also take a break from his studies, according to William Johnson, the national chairman of the American Freedom Party. UW spokesperson Meredith McGlone told The Daily Cardinal that Dropik is still enrolled at the school as of Feb. 6.

Johnson told the Associated Press that he urged Dropik to continue advertising the organization, but that Dropik feared for his safety. Dropik said in January he had received a number of pieces of hate mail.

Dropik became an even more polarizing figure on campus after Chancellor Rebecca Blank confirmed he had committed two racially motivated crimes in 2005. Afterward, hundreds of students participated in a march against Dropik and the American Freedom Party.

Kat Kerwin, one of the organizers of the protest, said her organization, the Student Coalition for Progress, views Dropiks abandonment of the group as a triumph of deliberate democracy.

[SCP] is cautiously optimistic about Dropiks decision, Kerwin said in a statement. We recognize how much work remains to be done we will continue to organize resistance.

Daniel Dropik did not immediately respond to request for comment.

UW-Madison student abandons 'alt-right' group, will take leave of absence - The Daily Cardinal

Opinion By Editorial Board | Sunday, February 5

Last Wednesday, a fiery pother erupted on the University of California, Berkeleys campus in response to the planned appearance of the inflammatory conservative editor Milo Yiannopoulos. Angry that Yiannopoulos had been allowed on campus, masked agitators infiltrated a protest against his speech and turned it violent, throwing rocks at police and breaking windows in what was deemed by the Berkeley College Republicansthe group that invited Yiannopoulosas the killing of free speech. The ordeal was shameful for all parties involved, but especially for liberals trying to regain respect after devastating electoral losses last November.

Contrary to the expressed feelings of some, it is not a crazy idea that the Berkeley Republicans would have sought to bring Yiannopoulos to campus. Although he is widely viewed as a far-right bomb thrower, his movementthe so-called alt-righthas been legitimized as a force in politics through the rise of President Donald Trump. Representing the alt-right through speakers on campuses is, perhaps, an educational necessity.

To be sure though, Yiannopoulos is a strange character to choose for a group looking to show off the positive sides of the alt-right movement. A blatant racist and sexist, he has espoused views that are despicable to most college students. In his mind, the number of female STEM students ought to be capped, gay people ought to get back in the closet and Muslims ought to be banned from the west. And although all of that is hugely objectionable, it doesn't justify banning him from campus. What does make Yiannopoulos worth banning (and the general test that those who utter hate speech should be held against) is that he has repeatedly instigated his cultish followers to target people he does not agree with. Time after time, hes shown that he is willing to single out individual victims to be the focus of his vitriol, knowing fully well that doing so could cause them serious harm. In December 2015, he persuaded his Twitter followers to harass actress Leslie Jones, ultimately leading to her deleting her account. A year later, he singled out a transgender student on the University of Wisconsins campus and urged a crowd to mock her appearance. Both instances cross the line of free speech and make it clear that Yiannopoulos is not simply a race-baiting provocateur, but is someone who purposefully harms others and thus isnot worthy of the honor of speaking on a campus. If the Berkeley College Republicans truly wanted to bring in a speaker from the alt-right, they ought to have opted for a standard-bearer like Tomi Lahren or Stephen Millerboth equally alt-righty, but neither threatening to the safety of others.

It would, of course, be ridiculous to blame Yiannopoulos and the Berkeley Republicans for the entire brouhaha. The reactions of agitated protesters cannot be condoned. Their decision to fight fire with fire only legitimized claims that the left is terrified of free speech and is hypocritical in its calls for rule of law in the country. This was a cut-and-dry case where violence was clearly not the answer, and bygiving into their emotions and abusing them, protesters failed their cause.

Although we strongly hold that Berkeley student protesters were just in the cause of their protest against vile racist and sexist beliefs, we equally strongly condemn the masked marauders who infiltrated their protest and turned it violent. Nothing is ever built on fire, whether the flames are of the burning, hateful rhetoric of Milo Yiannopoulos or the literal conflagrations set by protesters.

Richard Spencer raised eyebrows on Sunday night, as he congratulated Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on their fifth franchise Super Bowl win and linked their victory to white nationalism.

"For the white race, it's never over," he wrote with a gif of Brady locking lips with his wife, Gisele Bundchen.

The president of the National Policy Institute and co-editor of AltRight.com is known for his white nationalist beliefs, and made headlines last month when he was punched on the street at President Trump's inauguration.

Spencer noted his fan status for the Patriots, saying, "I was born in Boston, Mass. I'm proud of the NFL's Whitest team."

He shared more excitement around the New England squad's historic come back in a storm of tweets with the theme of linking #PatsNation to Trump's 2016 election slogan to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain. He even named Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady as an "Aryan Avatar."

Spencer continued gloating throughout the evening, and was clearly ecstatic when the Patriots came back from a 25 point to deficit in what will be viewed as the greatest football -- and potential sports game -- come back of all time.
